Do you have any tips for my flight to Lijiang?
We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Lijiang in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lijiang?
Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Lijiang a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • Keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
